It doesn't suit my playing style . The donks playing any hand allin PF, the short starting stacks and steep blind structure makes me a loser at Party SnGs. I need to be able to sometimes get respect...

Ok, here's the conclusion. I really got lucky on this hand.

Remember, I hold :qc: :9c:

Top 2 pair, oh yeah!

First of all, I suppose eveyone agrees that this is a classic move: Call a raise pre-flop, call an (fairly) unthreatening flop to set up for a steal later, re-raise on the turn?

I don't say that...

Rite but we are on the bubble here - if the allin player gets knocked out, I'll be in the money. Sure I agree, the call was necessary, but I like to get all aspects into the discussion...

I don't see what pushing might accomplish here - it would only be a t1395 call to the chip leader to get a shot at a t7210 pot, and he's already demonstrated that he has a premium hand. Also,...

Ok, I think you're wrong about checking it down since the big stack had earlier demonstrated an automaton-like behaviour of always betting t200 on the flop, regardless of his holding, regardless of...

This early, I'd fold AJ in EP, regardless if it's on PartyPoker or PokerStars.


I can't even begin to count the chips I've lost playing weak hands in EP early in a SnG at PokerStars.

This is one of the reasons why I gave up Party Poker...coinflip poker at it's worst...

Personally, I'd call here. I don't multitable so I play post-flop... :wink:

First of all, thanks for a great post.

I have a qustion regarding the calculation of the "combined blinds and antes". I have read the entire thread several times but still can't figure out how to...

I see ur point. Probably hadn't mattered in this hand but it might in another.

Yep, I got what u meant the second after I pressed "Submit"...


Basically, it was a steal attempt...and since he just called pf I figured he was out of line - hence the flop bet. Had I missed the...

I don't understand what u mean by that. I don't see how going AI on the flop could have pushed him out - he knew he had the nuts at that point and there were no possible st8s or flushes on the board....

As u can see a got busted out so of course this was a mistake, but I don't see how I could have avoided it.

Hi,

I don't know if this is the really the correct place for my post but since I mainly play SnG's and I couldn't find a more appropriate place, this is where I decided to post.
